Chapter 14 Kurt Connors

New York, top floor of the Osborne Group
Harry Osborne's private office
Harry Osborne stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling city night view below, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

The Osborne family curse... that damned genetic disease, there's hope for a solution now.

Based on his research over this period, the so-called genetic disease is essentially a malignant proliferation of a retrovirus.

Simply put, there is a "time bomb" hidden in his and his father Norman Osborn's genetic sequences.

During gene transcription, this defective sequence continuously produces substances that are extremely harmful to the body.

These substances accelerate cell aging, causing bodily functions to decline at an alarming rate until they completely collapse.

In the original story, his father's solution was a "body enhancement potion"...

This is a military project based on the "Super Soldier Program" from World War II, with the aim of replicating the super serum injected into Captain America.

Through the enhancement of this serum, the body's resilience is greatly increased, allowing it to withstand the erosion of harmful substances and even gain superhuman strength.

However, this only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause, and does not solve the problem of the generation of this harmful substance.

This is unavoidable, because in this world and in this era, human technology has not yet been able to penetrate into the realm of genes.

Harry's eyes flickered as he lightly tapped his fingertips on the glass window.

But now, he has a solution: gene-editing technology from the world of "Guyver"!
The humans in that world were bio-weapon prototypes created billions of years ago by an advanced alien civilization called the "descendants"!

To cope with the cosmic war, the Descendants created humans, and through subsequent modifications, they could easily transform humans into various beast-like soldiers for different purposes.

Then they created the Beast God General, Akafil, who served as a command tower and could control the beast soldiers through brainwaves.

By chance, the Descendants gave their standard weaponry, the "Unit G" armor, to humanity.

To their surprise, the combination of humans and Kep unleashed a terrifying power far exceeding that of ordinary beastmen.

More importantly, humans equipped with the Kep can ignore the influence of their and the Beast God General's brainwaves...

These "creators" were terrified when they realized that the weapons they created might escape their control.

Out-of-control weapons are worthless.

So the invaders abandoned Earth and their "creations," hastily departing and summoning meteors to destroy the planet, but were stopped by the Beast God, Akafil.

Hundreds of millions of years later, the biotechnology they left behind, including the technology for deep analysis and modification of genes, was inherited by an organization called "Kross".

Therefore, in that world, he possessed the technology to eradicate the Osborn family curse at its root!

Harry took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

There are differences between worlds, just like his world has no chakra, no primordial energy.

Even if he trains in the same way as in "One Person" and "Naruto", he will not gain any abilities.

So the only question now is how much of the technology from the world of "Guyver" can he replicate?
These all require extensive experimentation to verify, adjust, and adapt.

All of this requires resources.

Abundant resources!
To verify all of this, his laboratory and small experimental team alone are not enough.

He is indeed Norman Osborne's son, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants.

How can he get those old guys on the board to willingly invest astronomical sums of money in his "future technologies" that sound like a pipe dream?
dream.

Unless... he can produce tangible results that they can't refuse!
Harry's eyes sharpened; he needed to gain sufficient influence within Osborn Corporation!

He already has the theoretical technology to produce results, but to bring it to fruition, he needs a reliable assistant with sufficient professional knowledge.

He had been searching for this person for a long time...

……

The next day

Osborne Corporation, Department of Biological Research, Dr. Kurt Connors' laboratory.

Wearing a white coat and looking slightly haggard, Dr. Kurt Connors was looking somewhat awkwardly at the excessively young heir of the corporation in front of him.

“Harry… uh, Mr. Osborn, what can I do for you?”

Dr. Connors pushed up his glasses, his only remaining left hand unconsciously clenching into a fist.

“Dr. Kurt, just call me Harry.” “Take a look at this; I’d like to hear your professional opinion.”

Harry, with a gentle smile on his face, handed him a tablet computer.

The person in front of him was the one he had been looking for for a long time, the supervillain Professor Lizard from Spider-Man.

Just like in the original story, Norman Osborn funded this man's experiment in order to solve the cause of the Osborn family's genetic disease.

Dr. Connors took the tablet with a puzzled look, his gaze falling on the paper displayed on the screen.

The article is titled: "A Conception of a Guide Sequence-Based Targeted Gene Fragment Knockout and Repair Technology and Its Potential Applications."

After only a few glances, Dr. Connors' expression turned serious, and he began to look at it carefully.

Dr. Connors initially skimmed the screen, but soon his movements slowed, his brow furrowed, his fingers swiping repeatedly across the screen, and he unconsciously muttered to himself:

“Guided sequence…targeted shearing…how…how is it possible to achieve such precision?”

Cas9… no, the description here is more like a programmable biological enzyme complex…

“Mr. Osborne! This proposal…the mechanism it puts forward…if, I mean if, its core principles can be verified…my God! This is simply…”

His voice trembled with excitement, and his only remaining left hand gripped the edge of the tablet tightly, his knuckles turning white.

His eyes were bloodshot, not from exhaustion, but from extreme shock and excitement.

Because the concept and feasibility of this technical solution far exceeded his knowledge, and could even be said to have surpassed the current Earth's technology by an entire era!
Using a special biological enzyme complex, guided by guide RNA, it locates specific gene sequences in cellular DNA like a precision-guided missile, and then cuts, replaces, or repairs them like scissors!

In theory, this technology is like a precise DNA scalpel, capable of targeted gene editing!
if it is like this……

Dr. Connors's gaze suddenly turned fervent as he thought of the research he had been conducting all along!

He studied the regenerative abilities of lizards, attempting to apply this genetic trait to humans to restore severed limbs.

But the biggest challenge lies in how to precisely control gene expression and editing to avoid uncontrollable side effects!

His previous serum experiments showed very unstable results, and could even be described as dangerous!
The technical solution in front of him had opened a completely new door for him!

If this precise gene-editing technology can be applied to his regenerative serum research...

Making gene editing a controllable, stable, and safe process!

That means not only will cancer be conquered, but limb regeneration will no longer be a dream!
It can even do more...

"Harry...this technology...if...if it really succeeds..."

It will change the history of medicine! No, it will change the world!!

Dr. Connors' voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Harry looked at the fire burning in Dr. Connors' eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

No scientist could resist such a temptation...

"That's right, Dr. Kurt, it will change the world."

And we will be the ones who change the world.

"So, Dr. Kurt, are you interested in joining me to create this miracle?"

Harry's smile remained unchanged. He stepped forward, gently patted Dr. Connors on the shoulder, and looked intently at him.

In the field of biology, every discovery is built upon a large number of experiments, finding that one unique coincidence from a massive amount of data and reproducing it.

But he was different; he directly transplanted mature theories from other worlds, which was like shooting the arrow before drawing the target.

Therefore, he needs a professional team to help him with technical verification...

Upon hearing this, Dr. Connors was deeply moved.

Changing the world...

What could be more exhilarating for a scientist than this?

Moreover, it also contains the hope of healing his own defects!

"Mr. Osborne, please let me... I'll join!"
